“Playboy” Trav Dave sent me this mp3 of himself, J. Osceola, Freddie Mac, and Bronx emcee Anti ripping a raw track. Trav has been around the Columbus Rap community for a grip and runs with J.Rawls and the Usual Suspect dudes.
His verse is at the end, and manages to include a Lil B reference in a song called “Lyrical Accountant”. All jokes all aside..real rap…protect your neck.. live at the bbq style.
Extra points for the rhyme, “some artists need to pay homage, I remember when you used to get your Jordan’s from Muhammad.”

In the greatest team-up since KMD’s and Brand Nubian’s “Nitty Gritty” Milk N Syrup, and Weightless are on the same track. Okay is nothing like that song but it is still nice to think about.
The song is produced by Path from All Eyes Path. It starts off unassuming and sparse and develops into something special. The email I got for this song said it was “untitled” so it may not be called “My City”.
Regardless, the song is off of “the Art Show” Fabrashay’s upcoming album. It’s dope and if you don’t download then hopefully you don’t listen to rap and are just waiting for more pictures of bearded men playing ukelalees.

Sidenote:Besides catching Zerostar at “get right, getting right” you can also catch him hosting “Grindtime 2 I Still Get it in Ohio” it is an emcee battle October 16th at Skullys.
More on that later this week.

My friend Danny Babcock and 4 other artists got involved with Cincy’s Over the Rhine based non-profit Art Wave for this “Paint the Street” project last weekend. Above is a video of the painting taking place.
Here is a link to CNN’s report on “Paint the Street”.
Heartwarming.

Yeah Fat Joe made it rain with Weezy, and also made y’all lean back. But he also used to flow, joe was with DITC and he also wrote graffiti under the name . Crack TAT
I still remember reading an interview with him in On The Go back in the day, and Fat Joe talking about beating up people that shoplift from his store Halftime in the Bronx.
I ain’t saying money is the key to sex despite what the above video states. I ain’t saying beating people up is right.
But Fat Joe definately plays Hip Hop by rules of the Bronx and the fact he has lasted so long despite losing friends Big L, and Big Pun, as well as beefing with 50 is a pretty good study in money,power and respect within Hip Hop.
Or how hip hop starts with your block.
Anyway, the Bronx vet will be on BET’s the Deal tonight at 300 am.
